... a tradition unlike any other... buying '80s CDs on discount from Target. So now I'm listening to Wang Chung's most famous song in which they sing their own name in the song.

I liked "Dance Hall Days" better, and even bought the song from iTunes. There was a video show weekday afternoons on CBC back in the 80's called Video Hits, and they used "Everybody Have Fun Tonight" as their theme at one point.

I found a crusty Best of The 80's cd at Wal Mart the other day. It was only $2.50 since it was repacked. While most of the 'good' songs I already had the real gem (and the reason I bought it) is Danger Zone by Kenny Loggins.

Makes my $4.39 deal seem like a ripoff now. Does yours have a "zany" retro flashback comment on the case? My most recent one has: "In the 80s they changed America's favorite cola recipe, but we've kept the original ingredients of all your favorite 80s hits on this disc." Totally awesome!

The cover band I'm in is picking these hard songs to do. I'm cheap, so I don't want to pay for a $1 download, I go to Youtube and get them there.

We learned:

Possum Kingdom - The Toadies (this is kinda creepy-"do you want to die" -is this some kind of serial killer song?)
Handle With Care - The Traveling Wilbury's (I call the guys "The Traveling Beer Bellies" they like their beer)

I discovered a new band yesterday called The Airborne Toxic Event, so I've been listening to a lot of their songs. Amazing band and the lead singer's voice reminds me a lot of Echo and the Bunnymen.

I also really like the song I Like You So Much Better When You're Naked by Ida Maria.

"To be concerned about being grown up, to admire the grown up because it is grown up, to blush at the suspicion of being childish; these things are the marks of childhood and adolescence… When I became a man I put away childish things, including the fear of childishness and the desire to be very grown up." - C.S. Lewis
